		Your chimney – and the flue or flues that line it – may add architectural interest to your home, but their real function is to carry dangerous fireplace, wood stove or furnace* gases and smoke safely out of you home.
		When chimney fires occur in masonry chimneys – whether the flues are an older, unlined type or are tile lined to meet current safety codes – the high temperatures at which they burn (around 2000 degrees F) can "melt" mortar, crack tiles, cause liners to collapse and damage the outer masonry material.
